“Don’t Let Facts Get In The Way!”
Posted by: Emperor Misha I in Democrat Arses, Ecofreaks, Global Wormening, Idiotarians, RINOs6:16 PM
Elsewhere (h/t In Jennifer’s Head), the MSM continue to lovingly tongue-bathe their Prophet of Glowbull Wormening, the Gorebecile, who isn’t about to let inconvenient facts get in the way of his global Ponzi scheme.
WASHINGTON (CNN) — The United States should be making all of its electricity with renewable and carbon-free energy in 10 years, former Vice President Al Gore said Thursday.
“The survival of the United States of America as we know it is at risk,” Gore said.
Indeed, but hopefully you and your drooling acolytes will be made to shut up before things turn truly catastrophic.
In a speech at Washington’s Constitution Hall, Gore touched on an array of the nation’s current woes, saying the economic, environmental and national security crises are all related.
“I don’t remember a time in our country when so many things seemed to be going so wrong simultaneously,” Gore said.
Jimmy Carter, anyone? Will there be a quiz? Isn’t it funny, by the way, how these things happening always seem to coincide with more control being exerted by Democrats Communists? It almost suggests some sort of correlation.
To begin to fix all the problems, Gore said, “the answer is to end our reliance on carbon-based fuels.”
“And to that end, I aim to wave my magic Gorebecile Wand and, by spreading fairy dust all over the nation, come up with replacements for carbon-based fuels overnight.”
Gore called on the country to produce all of its electricity from renewable and carbon-free sources in 10 years, a goal he compared to President Kennedy’s challenge for the country to put a man on the moon in the 1960s.
Modest as always, we see. But wait, we always thought that it was the Gorebecile who put a man on the Moon. Or was the Gorebecile actually the first man on the Moon? Nevermind. We’re pretty sure that he took the initiative in creating the science of rocket propulsion.
Gore chastised those who have proposed opening new areas for oil drilling as a solution to U.S. energy problems.
“It is only a truly dysfunctional system that would buy into the perverse logic that the short-term answer to high gasoline prices is drilling for more oil 10 years from now,” Gore said.
Alas, if only the Gorebecile had flunked out of a business school instead of failing Bible 101 in seminary, he would understand enough about this whole supply and demand thing to know that he’s a blithering buttskate. Also, we find it interesting that drilling now with an eye to increasing supply within 7 years (or shorter. You really have to stay up to date on these things, Gorebecile) is “dysfunctional” and “perverse”, while throwing everything we have out the window while hoping and praying fervently that a suitable replacement will automagically turn up within 10 years ISN’T.
Something that the Gorebecile seems to forget, in his infinite ignorance (an ignorance only surpassed by the ignorance inflicting the dumbasses who follow him) is that none of these Wunderwaffen that he, the Obamessiah and John McClown keep blathering about actually exist, whereas fossil fuels and nuclear energy do, and we know quite a bit about them too, particularly how to utilize them efficiently and how the market forces work with respect to them.
“The way to bring gas prices down is to end our dependence on oil and use the renewable sources that can give us the equivalent of $1 a gallon gasoline,”
Hey, while you’re busy writing out checks that your flabby, gluttony arse can’t ever hope to cover, why not say 25 cents a gallon gas? Or FREE gas? Or gas that you actually get PAID to use? Oh, and throw some unicorns in there as well. They seem to soothe the feverish, insane minds of the loony left and we really could do with something to calm the voices in their heads down these days.
Notice how the Gorebecile and his even more imbecilic followers always go on and on and on about WHAT we’re supposed to do, but never ever mention anything about HOW we’re going to do it? Once you have your new Wonder Sources up and running, then we’ll talk. We’ll be MOST interested. Until then, just keep your dumbarse pieholes shut, will you? Think about all of the CO2 you exhale every time you carry on.
After losing the presidential election to then-Texas Gov. George Bush in 2000, Gore returned to the nation’s political main stage with “An Inconvenient Truth,” a
documentarywork of fictionfilmPowerPoint presentation detailing global warming’s effects on the planet, in 2006. The widely acclaimed film went on to win an Academy Award for best documentary in 2007.
In spite of the fact that one of the claims making up the foundation of said fever fantasy, the fairy tale about ice cores showing increasing CO2 levels leading to increasing temperatures, had been well and truly, thoroughly debunked in 2003.
Which tells you all you need to know about just how much the Academy Awards and the Nobel Prize are worth.
Gore’s return to the political arena has drawn increased scrutiny, particularly of his energy use. In 2007, the Tennessee Center for Policy Research chastised Gore for “extravagant energy use” at his Nashville, Tennessee, mansion.
Nice use of sneer quotes, CNN. Unless, of course, you really don’t believe that using 20 times as much energy as the average U.S. household is “extravagant.”
Gore subsequently has installed solar panels, a geothermal heating and cooling system, compact fluorescent light bulbs and other energy-saving technologies in his home.
After which, oh irony of ironies, his energy consumption actually went up, but CNN also conveniently forgets to point out that inconvenient truth.
“Do as I say, not as I do!”, quoth the Gorebecile, and the MSM put on their kneepads and assumed the position, drooling mouthes wide open in anticipation of another divine gusher from their oracle’s holy rod.
Elsewhere, John McDunce once again missed a perfect opportunity to shut the Hell up:
Of the goals Gore outlined Thursday for generating more electricity with solar and wind resources, McCain said, “If the vice president says it’s doable, I believe it’s doable.”
Of course you do, you slobbering old senile goat, we already knew that. Good luck at the polls this fall, dumbarse. You’re going to need a whole lot of vapor-brained “independents” to make up for the sentient beings you’ve put off permanently with the ignorant bilge that you spew every time your quivering old liver-spotted lips part.
It is hilarious, though, in a tragical way, observing the old fool standing on the deck of the S.S. Gorebecile proclaiming that she’s “virtually unsinkable” while the lifeboats are pulling away with load after load of actual scientists aboard.
Never missed an opportunity to miss an opportunity, did you, McDaft?

Just like the snake oil salesmen of old. Dazzle the crowd with a line of bullshit, collect the filthy lucre and beat feet out of town before the customers realize they’ve been ripped off.

Alright, Gore!!!! You go it. DRILL NOW, not in 10 years. Thanks for pointing out that delaying an immediate solution to the problem is not solved by putting off stopgap measures.
The problem is when you employ that stopgap then funnel the funds that should be on future energy R and D and use it to pay off the poor to not rise up by giving them “free” stuff.
No unicorns in my house ever again. They seem nice gentle creatures, but fear men.

OMG!! Some one wanted to apply fiscal responsibility to a project? At a University?
What the hell does this demonstrate outside of these people don’t care whether it work or not, “someone else will pay for it.” They’re forking out almost 1/2 mil for something that most likely sill break in the 30-40 year return they predict. So it’ll cost more.
By the way, we may have to raise tuition 3% per year over this time to pay for this.

Well we all know how well social Security has worked out.
July 18th, 2008 at 1:01 PMUsing
Establishing Social Security was easy! Heck, new Ponzi schemes are started every day!
Changing over from petroleum = not so easy. Nuclear power is great for electric power plants, but we’re going to have trouble making all our cars electric. Lithium will become much more expensive at that rate of extraction, we’d have to use all known reserves to make lithium-ion battery vehicles. The world reserves of nickel would be used up making batteries for 10% or less of our cars. Not to mention our electrical infrastructure would need to be boosted 20X to provide energy for all these vehicles.
Hydrogen will solve everything! No, hydrogen has to be extracted from water, at a 50-60% efficiency rate, then held at a serious loss rate, then finally burned in an IC engine. The cumulative efficiency rating makes lead-acid batteries look wonderful, let alone lithium cells.
Can it be done? Yes. Will it be quick or easy? No. What else can we do? Drill, make sure we have enough oil to keep us going while the work is done.

Correct me if Im wrong but doesnt POTUS & VPOTUS (and immediate family) have lifetime SS protection? If so that makes those vehicles not only “gubmint” but probably well armored. Im thinking that last mileage I heard on a POTUS style armored vehicle was around the same of a Abrahms Tank, about 8 miles to the gallon. But I cant bust the SS’s doing thier job and keeping the victors ready to roll, per protocol.

Its worse than you can imagine. Our current pin-dick prime minister is charging ahead with his new carbon tax.
Election time it was “It will only add about $1.00 a year” to your power bill.
Now its allready around $260.00, only pricing the carbon at $20.00 a tonne, while the globull market is allready around $60.00.
Any Ivy leauge economists want to bet on whats going to happen to the price of power in Australia?
Fellers it doesnt matter what you do, keep out of this clusterfuck. Our semi-socalist slimebag PM is allready using the money as a increase to welfare…
This is worth a read as well. Its one of the Aussies involved in calculating the greenhouse figures whos since changed his mind on what he was looking at.

“..Print David Evans | July 18, 2008
I DEVOTED six years to carbon accounting, building models for the Australian Greenhouse Office. I am the rocket scientist who wrote the carbon accounting model (FullCAM) that measures Australia’s compliance with the Kyoto Protocol, in the land use change and forestry sector.
FullCAM models carbon flows in plants, mulch, debris, soils and agricultural products, using inputs such as climate data, plant physiology and satellite data. I’ve been following the global warming debate closely for years.
When I started that job in 1999 the evidence that carbon emissions caused global warming seemed pretty good: CO2 is a greenhouse gas, the old ice core data, no other suspects.
The evidence was not conclusive, but why wait until we were certain when it appeared we needed to act quickly? Soon government and the scientific community were working together and lots of science research jobs were created. We scientists had political support, the ear of government, big budgets, and we felt fairly important and useful (well, I did anyway). It was great. We were working to save the planet.
But since 1999 new evidence has seriously weakened the case that carbon emissions are the main cause of global warming, and by 2007 the evidence was pretty conclusive that carbon played only a minor role and was not the main cause of the recent global warming. As Lord Keynes famously said, “When the facts change, I change my mind. What do you do, sir?” ..”

Yes, but principles are principles, so the hypocritical dick could pony up some of the gazillions he’s raked in as the result of having been VPOTUS, and armor up a fleet of hybrids.
And when he’s done that, he can go build himself a nice yurt to live in- after all, some pretty serious penitence will be required if this bloviating, carbon-spewing douchegargler is ever going to bring his lifetime carbon footprint into line with what he’s been admonishing us to do. According to that ridiculous carbon death calculator, the Gorebot should have been aborted.

Hybrids? I fail to see the logic is dropping twenty-five or thirty grand on a hybrid getting forty-six miles per gallon when I have gone out, bought a Hyundai Accent for commuting, twelve thousand out the door, a better warranty, getting an honest forty per gallon. And the cost of repairs, so far none at eighty thousand, and no battery to get replaced at a hundred and fifty thou, if you are lucky. I expect mine to go two hundred easily, just by taking care of it, commuting a hundred and forty miles per day, round trip. A note to liberals…let the market do it’s job. It did with me. And still is. Yet it seems anathema to such types to entertain the cosmic notion of beng able to make a buck conserving. Which is why their way will fail, the Soviet Union at one time being the filthiest nation on the planet.
